Field-line (Euler-potential) model of the ring current

The equation of a magnetic field line (labeled L) in Dungey's model magnetosphere (dipole field plus uniform southward Δ B) is r= La[1+( r 3/2 b 3)]sin 2 θ, where r denotes geocentric distance, θ denotes magnetic colatitude, a is the Earth's radius, and b is the radius of the field model&#...
